Nigeria — Emergency Tracking Tool Report 343 (28 August - 3 September 2023)

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and collect information on large and sudden population movements, provide frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a sub-component of the Mobility Tracking methodology in Nigeria, ETT utilizes direct observations and a broad network of key informants to capture the best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Dikwa, Gwoza, Hawul, and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State, in Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State and in Bade, Bursari, Damaturu, Geidam, Nguru, Potiskum and Tarmuwa LGAs of Yobe State.
